Raw and Roaming

A Boat For The Road

The morning my husband said "We need to stop dreaming" — and I completely fell apart. I woke up excited. He woke up with a list. Marina costs, maintenance, planning, expenses… and just like that, the dream of living on a boat started to sink. I cried. Not because I couldn't have the yacht — but because it felt like 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. And I was exhausted from that dance. For the first time, I doubted us. I doubted everything. We had left behind a beautiful home, incredible neighbors, a real sense of community — something that's genuinely hard to find in Belgium. I was spiraling. But then my husband said two words: RV life. I had zero clue what that meant. Belgium is the size of Maryland — there are no wide open highways, no RV dealerships on every corner, no community of families rolling across the country in their homes on wheels. It simply doesn't exist there. I didn't know this lifestyle was even an option. One hour later, we were at an RV dealership in the US. Three seconds after stepping inside one? I said yes. In this episode, we walk you through the emotional rollercoaster of ditching the boat dream, discovering full-time RV living, choosing our floor plan, staying debt-free, and — somehow — buying a truck in Miami and an RV in Caldwell, Idaho… over the phone… before our visa ran out.

The Exploration

When you start your new life as a family with nothing but 3 suitcases, a new country, no plans and no turning back the stakes are as high as the excitement. The risk is rewarding and the sky knows no limits, it feels like freedom.#lifeontheroad #newlife #fulltimetravelfamily #vlogcast

The Decision

The moment we decided to sell everything, leave our country with no clear plan.We didn't know it back then but this was actually Phase 1: The decision.It didn't feel like a big move at the time, just checking things out of a to-do list without looking back.#fulltimetravelfamily #lifeontheroad #newlife #vlogcast
